The story of the Queen of Seba: The throne of Bilqis flies to the Prophet of God, Solomon, peace be upon him
God revealed to His Prophet Solomon, peace be upon him, that the Queen of Captivity has come to you surrendering
The Prophet of God, Solomon, peace be upon him, said to the crowd of his soldiers
O eminent ones, which of you will bring me her throne before they come to me as Muslims?
The Prophet of God, Solomon, peace be upon him, addressed the nobles of his army, both jinn and humans
He asked them to bring the throne of the Queen of Seba, which is a big task that is not required of the common people of Menas
This is wisdom that leaders who deal with people need
They should not entrust great deeds to the masses of people, especially if the task requires strength and honesty
This is chosen by someone who knows about it so that it can be completed correctly
Our Prophet Muhammad, may God bless him and grant him peace, alerted us to this in the hadith of Abu Hurairah, may God be pleased with him
When a Bedouin asked him about the Hour, on the authority of Abu Hurairah, may God be pleased with him, he said
While the Prophet, may God bless him and grant him peace, was in a gathering talking to the people, a Bedouin came to him and said:
When is the hour? The Messenger of God, may God bless him and grant him peace, went on speaking
Some of the people said, “He heard what he said and thought about what he said.”
Some of them said, "Rather, he did not listen until he finished his speech."
Where did the questioner see him about the hour? He said, “Here I am, O Messenger of God.”
He said, “If the trust is lost, then wait for the Hour.” He said, “How did you waste it?”
He said: If the matter is entrusted to people other than those who deserve it, then wait for the Hour
Narrated by Al-Bukhari. Ibn Al-Mulqin, may God have mercy on him, said
It means if the matter is entrusted to those who do not deserve it
That is, those who are not religious and trustworthy and those who help them in injustice and immorality take charge of it
Then the imams will have lost the trust that God imposed on them
Until the traitor is trusted and the trustworthy is betrayed
This only happens when ignorance prevails and the people of truth are too weak to do it
We ask God for wellness
Positions today are related to people's rights and interests
It is not appropriate to give it to anyone other than the strong and trustworthy
It is not appropriate for the position to be given because of the governors or because of kinship
Nor because of the satisfaction of the tribe or other reasons
This would be considered a kind of deception of the nation if it happened
Muhammad Rashid Reda, may God have mercy on him, said
And the matter of the people is out of the hands of its people
Those who are able to do it properly
A reason for their corruption
And cities for the hour in which they are destroyed by injustice
Or the matter is out of their hands
Neglecting specialists and not assuming the positions they deserve
It is caused by widespread ignorance of the provisions of Sharia law in societies
The dominance of the ignorant over the scholars
Ibn Hajar, may God have mercy on him, said in explanation of Al-Bukhari’s mention of this hadith in the Book of Knowledge
This text is suitable for the book of science
Attributing the matter to people who do not deserve it
It only occurs when ignorance prevails and knowledge is advanced
This is among the signs
What it means is that knowledge exists as long as it exists
There is space in the matter
Here comes a question
Which is why the Prophet of God asked Solomon, peace be upon him
Bringing the throne of the Queen of Sheba
Although she is on her way to him surrendering
Abu Mansur al-Mat Redi mentioned two reasons
One of them said
He wanted to show them his strength and authority
For one of his soldiers to raise her throne with his bones
Preview and watch them
And he carried it from among them
To know that whoever is capable of this
He is able to bring them soldiers that they cannot handle
And a friend of what he said
Let us bring them forces against which they cannot defeat
He is able to conquer and defeat them
And the second
He wanted to show them one of the signs of his prophecy if they came to him
Before they came as Muslims
To know that he is a prophet, not a king
When the Prophet of God, Solomon, peace be upon him, asked
An ifrit from the jinn said
I will bring it to you before you get up from your position
And I am strong and faithful to Him
The one who has knowledge of the book said
I will bring it to you before you get up from your position
And I am strong and faithful to Him
I will bring it to you before your side returns to you
Each of them demonstrated their ability to quickly execute the order
Provided that the condition is strength and honesty
Because this throne contains precious jewels and contents
It is a great throne
Its greatness requires strength to carry it
And honesty in preserving its contents
Especially since the Prophet of God Solomon, peace be upon him
He will present it to the Queen of Sheba
To show her his strength and the ability of his soldiers
Maybe she will convert to Islam
The first offer came from one of the goblins of the jinn
He said about the time he needed to bring the throne
I will bring it to you before you get up from your position
That means before the time of the council you are in ends and you leave it
The throne will be in your hands
The second offer is from the same soldier
But he said about the time he needed
I will bring it to you before your side returns to you
The point is to look
I mean, in the blink of an eye
The throne will be in your hands
What made the second superior to the first?
God explained to us in the verses the secret of the superiority of the second over the first
It is knowledge
The one who has knowledge of the book said
This is the crucial information that God has revealed to us
It is enough to take the lesson from the story
It is that knowledge raises the status of the learner
It helps him meet his needs in a better and faster way than the ignorant
Whoever this learner is, Ansia or a fairy
Science reduces time for the world
To obtain the reward of the greatest good deeds
While the road is long for the ignorant
He seeks reward for good deeds
This is because the world knows the honor of time and the honor of place
What is the worship that is offered in this time and not in any other?
What are the best acts of worship to perform?
Its reward is greater than others
He follows his path to God with knowledge and insight that brings him closer to God
It raises his rank and weighs down the scales of his good deeds
As for the ignorant
Even if his intention is good, he is seeking reward and compensation
However, he takes long and arduous roads
He misses out on a lot of good because of his ignorance
Satan may enter him through obsessive thoughts
He wastes his time and work
God Almighty exalts Him
When he mentioned to us this position regarding the Prophet of God Solomon, peace be upon him, and his soldiers
In the case of bringing the throne of the Queen of Sheba
It was not mentioned to us who this person has knowledge of the book
Agni is the mother of Ensi
What kind of knowledge does he have?
From which book did this knowledge come?
As long as God Almighty is in His glory
The All-Knowing, the Wise, the All-Knowing
He did not mention these details to us when telling the story
Searching for it without evidence from a book or a Sunnah
Waste of time
It will not benefit us
There is no benefit in searching for it
There is no lesson added to the story
And what God has hidden from us
We don't bother looking for it
This is one of Satan's entrances
To distract us from contemplation and contemplation
And take a lesson from what was mentioned in the verses
And from what God told us in his book
Think about this carefully, my sister
In your contemplation of God’s verses in the Holy Qur’an
And in your search for the stories of the past
Be successful
But how was the Prophet of God, Solomon, peace be upon him, received?
Throne of the Queen of Sheba
When he reached it
What did he comment on?
What did he want to convey to those around the world?
After accession to the throne
What did he order his soldiers?
We will continue in an upcoming meeting, God willing
Praise be to God, Lord of the worlds
